In the impossible fear it may unwind
But I’ve only ever learned knots that are
Impossible to untie

Oh wow I like that a lot! Where is this saying from?
Well I have been assuming it’s Scottish, but I believe it’s actually Irish.
That’s really an amazing quote, especially how much it fits this poem. Thank you for telling me! Do you mind if I open the poem with this from now on?
Not in the slightest – I have no copyright on it. 🙂
Yeah I can see exactly what you mean! Love it!
